On this day, the wind and sand had already subsided, and the Germans still blew the whistle to get up and assemble when it was hazy as usual...... Staying in the desert for a long time will naturally sum up some lessons, such as the temperature is still around zero before the sun comes out, which is very suitable for the tank to drive, and the tank can move at a faster speed.

The British followed the Germans for two days, and a habit was formed...... Get an extra half hour of sleep.

This is determined by their speed faster than the German army, anyway, if they get up too early, they can only wait for the German army to go first, and those who have to stop and go on the road cannot let go of the pursuit, so usually the British army is followed by scouts in front first, and the main force is guided by scouts in the rear.

A company of the 3rd Mechanized Cavalry Regiment of the British Army, which was in charge of tracking this time, consisted of 6 "Stuart" tanks, 10 armored vehicles and 2 vehicles, and was commanded by Captain Cecil.

Captain Cecil immediately sensed that the German march was a little different today, and they were so fast that they seemed to want to throw themselves off.

"It seems that the Germans are getting a little impatient!" Captain Cecil stood on a moving Humber armored car, holding a telescope and looking at the Germans in the distance.

"Didn't they know that tanks leave deep track marks?" The driver replied, "They can't get rid of us!" ”

The driver is right, the tank will leave a deep tank mark in the sand, as long as it is not too long, the British army can easily find the German advance route, plus the speed of the British tank is faster than the German army, so it is almost impossible for the German army to get rid of the British army...... This is also the importance of speed in desert warfare, the British army has suffered in this regard before, but I didn't expect that now the feng shui flow is turning.

It's just that what the driver and Captain Cecil didn't expect was that the Germans didn't want to get rid of them at all, but to destroy them.

"Speed up!" Captain Cecil ordered: "Don't let them escape!" ”

"Yes, speed up!" The herald shouted and gave orders to the soldiers around him in the language of the flag.

For a company, it seems more convenient and faster to command with a small flag.

So the British armored vehicles and tanks accelerated the German pursuit, and then suddenly the Germans disappeared, because there was a small hill in front of them blocking the view.

But Captain Cecil was not alarmed, because, as the driver said, there were tracks printed there, and he was not afraid that the Germans would disappear under his nose.

However, when Captain Cecil and his men rushed up to the dunes, he found himself wrong......

In front of them, a neat formation of tanks suddenly appeared, the German "No. 3" tank, followed by a group of infantry, a row of black barrels and barrels aimed at them, all with murderous eyes.

"Squeak!" With a bang, the driver slammed on the brakes, but due to the sand slippage, the armored car drove forward a little further under inertia before stopping, so that the armored car almost hit the barrel of the tank.

Captain Cecil only had time to cry out, "God! ”

Then the tank guns "boomed" loudly, and Captain Cecil, along with his armored car, was blown into the sky very simply.

Then the other tanks opened fire, and in a short time more than a dozen British tanks and armored vehicles were blown to pieces, and the British scouts had no time to fight back, and they were wiped out in a matter of minutes...... It took a few minutes because from time to time a few survivors crawled out of the armored vehicles and tried to escape, but they were quickly knocked to the ground by bullets fired by German soldiers.

This is a very common scene on the battlefield, but when you think about it, it is very cruel, and these British troops must be willing to surrender...... This is a common denominator even of the European and American armies, and it is a natural choice for them to surrender when they are unable to change the tide of the war or are unable to resist, and it will not be considered a disgrace.

But the Germans did not give the British time to surrender at all, so more than 100 British troops were gone, and the more than 100 people who were still alive just now turned into a pile of bloody corpses in the blink of an eye.

Then Colonel Albridge waved his hand, and the tank "rumbled" over the sand dunes and advanced in the direction of the British 7th Panzer Division.

At this time, the British did not know what was happening, although they faintly heard a few cannon shots and gunshots, but there were also skirmishes in the past few days, so they thought that it was just a scout chasing too close and being attacked by the Germans, so they did not think about it and marched in columns.

As a result, they had not walked for ten minutes when they saw a group of tanks in the wind and sand ahead...... It was, of course, the enemy's tank group, and the British realized that danger had befallen them.

"Spread out and prepare for battle!" The British officer shouted.

But it was too late, because the German tanks had already picked up speed and rushed into range in one go...... To be precise, it should be within the line of sight, under the influence of wind and sand, the shadow of the enemy can only be vaguely seen at a distance of 200 meters between the enemy and us.

"Free Fire!" Colonel Albridge ordered.

"Three" slowed down when he received the order, and then stopped from time to time to stand still for a few seconds...... The moment when the tank moves from movement to stationary is actually not suitable for shooting, because the body of the tank will shake violently due to inertia, so the gunner must wait for the tank to stop and then adjust to the elements to find the target...... This is the so-called "short-stop shooting", and at the same time the reason why the tank has to slow down.

The British tanks on the other side also did not have the ability to fire their guns on the move, so they responded in the same way.

HOWEVER, THE FRONTAL HARD-HITTING "STUART" IS OBVIOUSLY INFERIOR TO THE "NO. 3" EQUIPPED WITH A 50MM TANK GUN, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE "NO. 3" HAS ALREADY LAUNCHED A BATTLE FORMATION AND OCCUPIES AN ABSOLUTE NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE IN LOCAL AREAS.

As a result, only a loud "boom" was heard, and more than a dozen "Stuart" vehicles that the British army hurriedly came up to meet were blown into the sky by the "No. 3" high-explosive armor-piercing shells at the first time.

The advantage of high-explosive armor-piercing shells is that they have armor-piercing ability and explosive lethality at the same time, and the disadvantage is that the armor-piercing ability is not as strong as that of pure armor-piercing shells.

If there was a "Matilda" or "Valentine" with extremely thick armor in front of them, then the German gunners would not dare to choose high-explosive armor-piercing shells in any case.

But it was "Stuart" who was playing against them, and the distance of the target at this time was only about two hundred meters, so it could be used boldly.

If a high-explosive armor-piercing projectile can penetrate the target, the lethality can be described as "madness...... Although it does not have much charge, it explodes in a confined space, especially a thickly armored tank, and the energy of the explosion is firmly locked in the tank compartment and borne by the human body, so the shock wave, shrapnel and sudden increase in pressure in the tank compartment after the explosion are enough to kill any living creatures inside.
